Vacuum electromagnetic energy

The energy shift ( order a2 ) due to the vacuum polarization contribution is given by the well-known expression (Lyubovitskji and Rusetsky, 2000). The calculation of the electromagnetic energy-level shift is now complete. 

Let us now consider extinction by a single arbitrary particle embedded in a nonabsorbing medium (not necessarily a vacuum) and illuminated by a plane wave (Fig. 3.7). We construct an imaginary sphere of radius r around the particle the net rate at which electromagnetic energy crosses the surface A of this sphere is...

In this chapter we present new concepts that provide usable extraction of electromagnetic energy from the vacuum, and appear to be present but previously unrecognized in all electrical power systems.

The demonstration by Sachs [117] that electromagnetic energy is available from the vacuum (Riemannian curved spacetime) generates the most precise classical electromagnetic theory available. Its notable successes [42] include...
